One of the original great Departments of State, The Home Office has one of the most challenging and important jobs in government: to keep Britain safe and secure. We operate at the heart of the Government’s agenda, leading on immigration and passports, drugs policy, crime policy, counter-extremism and counter-terrorism and work to ensure visible, responsive and accountable policing in the UK. The challenges the Department faces are significant and can change rapidly in the global environment in which we operate.

Responsible for ensuring that our large and fast-paced Digital, Data and Technology (DDaT) organisation runs efficiently and effectively, you will play a significant supporting role as the function evolves to pursue technology transformation across the whole of this diverse and high-profile department. Supporting the Chief DDaT Officer in all aspects of strategic and business planning, you will facilitate the evolution of DDaT’s operating model in support of a complex portfolio of high value programmes and sector leading live services, coordinating the requirements and consumption of shared services, whilst shaping and providing coherent leadership to a range of supporting teams to ensure that the function fulfils its challenging agenda. This is an important role with influence and will be key to ensuring that efficiency and continuous improvement permeate the organisation and its people.

You will be a strategic thinker and change agent, able to drive the definition and implementation of a broad range of initiatives and activities in support of a constantly changing, customer focused, complex technology organisation. You will be able to create an environment in which talented technologists can thrive, innovating and pushing the boundaries of technology within the value set of the organisation through access to the organisation structures, frameworks, professional development and working practices you and your team provide. With change and operational experience, you will bring credibility, commerciality and sound judgement that will enable you to secure cooperation at all levels. Above all, you will bring energy, passion and drive and a desire to contribute to important work that positively impacts all of our lives.
